| First health the first heat of this class
there were seven entries, but only four start
| ers-Duplex, who had the pole with Ed An
nan on the outside, Sallie G. in third place
and Cohannet next to the pole horse. At the
pools before the heat Ed Amman was the ia
vorite and was selling for $50 against Duplex
for $16 and the field for SO. The horses
started well after several attempts to score
and at the quertar Duplex was leading, with
Ed Amman close behind and Cohanneu third.
At the half the positions were not altered ex-
cept that Duplex had little more lead and
| Cohannett's driver had pulled his horse back
| to where Sallie G. was trotting. On. the
| stretch, however, Ed Amman began to draw
1 up on Duplex and when within few rods of
| the wire Duplex broke and Ed Amman went
| under the wire first about half neck ahead
| of Duplex. Cohannet and Sallie G. were
l distanced.
| Second health this heat Ed. Amman and
Duplex were the only starters and the pools
were dead; no one being present who would
take Duplex against Ed. Amman at any price,
The horses after the start kept we'll together,
Duplex leading slightly at the quarter, but
on the half he lost his lead and fell about a
sulky length behind, which position he kept
during the rest of the heat, letting Ed AM
nan win the heat easily
Third heat-The horses got away in good
style in this heat with Ed. Amman Leading,
which lead he kept all the way around, win
ming the heat and race and first money.

First heat, 2:2y class.-In this race there
were ten entries, but only five starters, viz:
Clara, who was selling as the favorite for
$50, and had her position next to the outside
horse; Billy Freer, who sold for $40 and had
third place; Jessie, who had the pole; Ca
mile, who had second place; and Bergen,
who had the outside-these three horses
making the field, which sold for So. The
horses started at the first trial this heat and
got away well punched together, but before
the quarter was reached the horses were well
strung out with Clara leading, Camille sec
ond and Jessie third, with Billy Freer, who
sold for $40, away in the rear. At the half
Jessie had passed Camille and taken second
place and thus the positions remained during
the heat, Clara winning by good lead, with
Jessie to poke her nose under the wire Sec
ond.
Second heat-Before this heat Clara sold
for $25 against the field for $25, and many
took this opportunity to hedge little. The |
horses acted well in this heat and got avav /
in pretty start, but at the quarter they had |
fallen into line except Clara and Billy Freer, |
who were trotting neck and neck, At the |
half, however, Billy Freer went into the air, |
and before he could get on his feet Clara had |
taken the lead, but Billy Freer out trotted |
her on the stretch and won the heat by a /
sulky length.
Third heat-After the second heat the
pools took a decided turn, Billy Freer be-
againt the field for $25, and it found many
buyers. The horses got away this time in |
the rain which had again begun falling, and
at the quarter Clara was leading closely fol-
lowed by Billy Freer, who in the half went
in the air, but quickly got his feet without
ing by very little, and on the stretch Billy
Freer began to stretch and went under the T
wire first nearly sulky length ahead of
Clara, who finished second.
Fourth heat-It was nearly $50 when the
horses were rung on the track for this heat
and many of the people had left the grounds.
At the quarter Clark was leading and on the
half Clara and Billy Freer trotted neck and
neck when Jessie began to crawl up on them,
and on the home passed Clara and gave Billy |
Freer tight rub, going under the wire about
q neck behind Billy Freer, who finished first
and thus won the heat, race and first money
